Does God Like Being God? And Other Tricky Questions about God is a response to many requests made by Catholic teachers, catechists, and parents for help in answering the tricky and often highly intelligent questions that children and young people ask about their faith. The book begins with four foundational chapters: “Can theology be made simple?”, “Why is the Bible important?”, “Is faith reasonable?”, and “Can expressions of faith change?” It then explores a series of questions like “Who made God?”, “If God is almighty, why is there so much suffering?”, and “Does God have a plan for me?”. Each chapter draws on engaging stories and examples to illustrate points, as well as summarizing relevant elements of Scripture, Church teaching, and contemporary philosophy and science. While primarily designed as a resource for teachers, the work could also be helpful in RCIA programs, faith formation programs for adults, and identity development programs for lay leaders in Catholic ministries.

Dr John Honner has degrees in science and theology and was professor and rector at the former Jesuit Theological College in Melbourne, Australia. He has written or cowritten more than a dozen books and numerous articles, including Does God Like Being God?. He has assisted and served on national leadership teams in Catholic education, health care, and social services in Australia and been part of a discerning and writing group in preparation for the Plenary Council of the Catholic Church in Australia.
